Giving Bernie a fair shake in the MSM media: ask for RT America to be listed around news channels.

This is for if you have RT-America. Right now it's listed around 280 on Dish and the other news channels like CNN and MSNBC are around 200.
Getting that channel around the news channel area will cause a number of people to stumble on it and they have a great chance of hearing Bernie get a fair shake there. If you don't have RT-America and have Cable or Satellite ask them to carry it.
I watch FSTV of course but they're trying to be everything for everyone on the left and they only have so much time for news. RT America is a dedicated news channels.
I would also suggest you ask them to carry FSTV.

We're not asking anyone for their help. We're putting it on. Like the other week when we put Bernie on TYT. We even got our question asked of him. Except for one we really wanted. And it's better off not said.

I'm excited. It's like democratic media since the viewers are able to communicate in real time with the hosts and guests and each other.

I like RT for Max Keiser, but I see he's now starting to use his youtube channel.

I don't know, but it's like we're about to get actual news for the first time in decades.

You and I might know all the avenues and use them but others don't. I'm concerned about the older people and others who are ignorant of Bernie or misinformed because of MSNBC, CNN and others.

I like how the youth have pretty much divorced itself from traditional media and get their information from a broader and more direct array of sources like youtube channels and Twitter. They move faster and are often direct source reports. The narratives of the mainstream media are often sophisticated to unravel too. It's hard to immediately understand how their omissions and language shape the framing of our understanding.

And, I have to use them because I work from home a lot and they have the fastest connection. My son is also a gamer (which isn't a need-to-have like work, of course, but he's a good kid making straight-As in all AP courses, so why not?). I can't get satellite because we live in "treeville" and I won't cut down my trees just for a dish.

I wish we were more like Europe when it comes to Internet speeds and pricing structures.
